How we calculate
Width, casing and compound decide how a tire really rides. We only show what was actually measured – and label estimates honestly.
Continental Argotal: Reference: documented test pressure of the source (24.7 psi (1.70 bar)).
Michelin Wild Enduro Rear: Reference: documented test pressure of the source (24.7 psi (1.70 bar)).
More pressure: less rolling resistance, less grip, less comfort. Tougher casing: more protection, more weight. Softer compound: more grip, more rolling resistance.
Modelled values are assumptions based on the stated measurement points – not a lab test.

Rubber compounds
Hardness scale 1 = hard and fast to 5 = very soft and grippy (our own classification).
Different grip classes: the softer tire must roll slower. Read the watts with that in mind.
Continental Argotal offers the softer compound range – more grip, usually at the cost of wear.

Without a lab test pressure we anchor the measured watt value at the recommended pressure. The curve shape is a physics model, not a measurement. Labs do not measure grip across pressure – we do not invent that curve. Wet grip is a lab value per tire model, not per version.
Three curves at most – hide one first.

Tests and sources
Continental Argotal
In this short test, BIKE pairs the coarse Argotal at the front with the Kryptotal at the rear to see if it's the ideal combo for enduro riders. The Argotal proves especially strong on loose and soft terrain, providing plenty of confidence there. It is rated a clear recommendation for loose ground.

Michelin Wild Enduro Rear
Alongside the front tire, the article also covers the Michelin Wild Enduro Rear and its reinforced casing built for hard racing use. Testers describe traction under acceleration and wear behaviour over several rides. The rear tire is positioned as a reliable partner for aggressive riders.
